Cross game
I have no clue why there hasnt been a thread being post for this new anime in spring o9'. The manga is great and even though the writer Adachi Mitsuru has a history of cliffhanger endings and his character drawings not all that great still you can appreciate the story and character development which are amazing. Btw this is not only a baseball manga but a lot more of a romance and slice of life.
details: Kitamura Koh has known the Tsukishima family for years. One of the Tsukishima daughters was even born on the exact same date as Koh! What will become of Koh when his best friend is no longer around? When: 5th april Where: on Tv Tokyo Number of Episodes: 51 Who: Director : Kawaguchi Keiichir? (Hayate no Gotoku!, Zettai Karen Children) Story : Masaki Hiro (Konjiki no Gash!!, Full Moon wo Sagashite) Chara-design : Shishido Kumiko (Detective Conan) General Director : Maeda Minoru (Dragon Ball, Touch) Studio : Synergy Sp (Major, Zettai Karen Children, Hayate no Gotoku!) Seiyuu: Kitamura Kou : Miyu Irino (Daisuke Niwa -D.N.Angel-, Syaoran -Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle-) Tsukishima Aoba : Tomatsu Haruka (Lala -To Love RU- , Nagi -Kannagi-) Tsukishima Wakaba ; Takigawa Akane : Kanda Akemi (Asuna Kagurazaka -Mahou Sensei Negima!- , Fujibayashi Ryou -Clannad-) Tsukishima Ichiyo : Toyoguchi Megumi (Winry -Full Metal Alchemist-) Tsukishima Momiji : Shitaya Noriko (Kasumi Tomine -Alien Nine-) Songs: opening Summer Rain by Kobukuro ending Koigoarete Mita Yume by Ayaka edited to add the episode count for this series. --- Winner of Animesuki 2010 Choice Award for Best Overall Series; Best Romance Series; Best Drama Series; Best Sport/Game Series; and Best Male Character Last edited by james0246; 2011-02-17 at 14:40. |

I'll be checking this series out love the manga. Hell I bought a new PC to watch it in HD lol since my current computer can't play most HD videos. Anyways hopefully it does a good job capturing the manga well including the comedy is done, Touch did a pretty good job at that.

Like all of Adachi's work the main focus is the characters followed by the sport. Romance is a main focus in the manga involving several characters as well which you would like, there's also several twists to it but saying it would really spoil the series big time... Really surprised me more then once. @_@

yeah all of Adachi's works are mostly romanced focused the baseball part is to me the icing on the cake, like in the manga a baseball match goes for like 2 1/2chapters, in Major as an example, takes what like 7 or so plus his training and w.e leading up to it this manga isnt like that, i hope some one subs it regularly and not dismisses it just cause it has baseball on it or it looks like a sports manga.

Yeah, I'm really happy this is getting an anime adaptation. I love Adachi's style, it looks really clean, simple, and nice. I hope they do Aoba well, she's my fav character in the manga.
It's pretty cool that Cross Game's going to be coming out soon, I was just in the middle of re-watching Touch. |

One thing to ask that's the correct info right? Because ANN has different people listed for the staff for this series:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...e.php?id=10580 The director that is listed on ANN is a bit iffy quality wise in he's work, hopefully the staff that you posted is the real one. Last edited by Pellissier; 2009-09-16 at 10:39. |

ANN has the correct staff. bramabull4316 posted the correct cast (according to 2channel and Japanese Wikipedia).
Director Sekita Osamu did Ichigo 100%, unfortunately, an anime that served its source material very badly. But writer Tsuchiya Michihiro did Major, KimiKiss, and Nijuumensou no Musume. The manga is popular enough to be in its 15th volume.

it's because no one watches sports anime, at least no one in the english-speaking world. most likely more people will watch this than any of the other shows this season, but there will about three people talking about it in english

Read more into the series, it'll get better. It's slow but it's (fairly) realistic.
Kinda agreed with Fluff about how discussion of the show will go. I'll likely be one of those three people.

So - that's what this is! I saw the manga all over the place when I was looking at Major and Oofuri in Tokyo, and didn 't know what it was. The covers are cute, and it's relevant to my interests. Haven't checked the wiki - anyone subbing?
